As for finding ammunition that will be judged to be "just right," don't hold your breath. There is a renewed push underway to compel the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ban lead bullets and shotgun pellets. From the New York Times:

Citing risks to birds and to human health, roughly 100 environmental groups formally asked the federal Environmental Protection Agency this week to ban or at least impose limits on lead in the manufacturing of bullets and shotgun pellets for hunting or recreation.

The bans, of course, would not be universal:

The ban sought by environmental groups would not apply to ammunition used by law enforcement and the military.

The lead in government bullets, apparently, is far too well behaved to poison anyone, as private citizens' lead would. That's a good thing, I suppose, given the fact that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has just ordered up to 450 million (lead-based) .40 caliber pistol rounds.

One will note that the same pseudo-science and weasel-words employed in the whole "Climate Change" hoax. The mechanisms that collectivists employ to promulgate their lies all follow a pattern that is readily recognized once you learn it.

Add to that the fact that the cretins pushing this on us lowlies find themselves, as always, exempt from their own rules.

actually, its simpler to remember that the enemy NEVER sleeps, and will NEVER abide by 'live and let live'...

while we attempt to make ends meet, they continually, like little perpetual motion machines, grind away on every issue, from every angle, every day, financed by power peoples money, whose goal is only to take our money, power and FReedom...

sooner or later theyll shop an idea to the right judge or politi-animal and then we have to fight uphill...again...

Everybody needs a CZ-52 and plenty of ammo. Dirt cheap for a fine blaster and enough ammo for anything coming our way. The .30 caliber 90gr hardball at 1,600fps is particulary effective against thick-skinned beasts. The hollowpoints expand to 60 caliber. Get the pistol and ammo now while they are almost being given away.

I'm eternally thankful for your input on these threads with respect to the CZ-52. It was after one of your posts four years ago that I went out and purchased mine, along with enough ammuntion to supply a battalion. I dearly love my Czech hand-cannon ... and the low ammunition costs pay for the pistol many times over.

Exactly so! This has been part of their overall strategy since the late 1800's and was first implemented in the U.S. during and by the Teddy Progressive administration.

Brilliant strategy...Carefully implemented...Eminently successful...Irrevocable without our implementation of a few important sentences in the Declaration of Independence!

Another advantage of the CZ-52 is it’s roller pin delay system. It was designed so that the pistol could fire very hot SMG ammo that was too hot for a Tokarev. But this also makes the slide very easy to pull back, much easier than other comparable pistols with conventional delay systems. As a result, if carried with an empty chamber, you can pull the slide back like it was a .22 pistol. Folks who have trouble jacking the slide on a typical 9mm, .40 or .45 will have no problem chambering a round with the CZ-52. This becomes an issue for older folks, sometimes.

Also fine calibers, but pricey ammo if you don’t reload. For folks on a tight budget who feel they might prefer a LOT of ammo, delivered now, dirt cheap, it’s hard to top 7.62X25. You can buy a CZ-52 pistol and a thousand rounds of ammo for much less than the price of a new “name brand” pistol and no ammo.

Alright, I'll meet you halfway. These are liberals' concerns, so they should do the heavy lifting if possible. I'd be agreeable to a ban on lead ammo for liberals, and they could also be banned from exhaling as it emits CO2. See there, I can be reasonable!

They’re pushing for divisions, confrontations with idiotic government yes men and other provocations that will lead to more clamp-down clamoring.

The “anti-lead” hysteria is directly modelized on the “pro-TSA-gropping” and “anti-war and anti-civil-self-defense” hysteria that will follow up once some people retaliate to the government with their own version of a cup of shut the fuck up ATF/EPA etc.

These people are terrorists and use terror tactics to frighten first of smoking, lead poisoning and then the rest is history.

i believe the anti-lead or anti-2A in general, was the stepping stone...they warmed up on guns, booze and smokes, along with a *war* on some drugs, in preparation for and conditioning the masses to accept having their johnsons and boobies played with and photod at the airport...

That’s a great thread, and it shows a lot of opinions, and some myths are busted which is always good. (”SMG ammo” etc.) That said, both the Toke and the 52 have their followers and detractors. Personally, I think the Toke was just the ugliest gun ever made, and no safety, and a “live” firing pin making it unsafe to carry chambered, hence, I got rid of mine many years ago and always disliked them. So, it’s interesting on that thread to read how many fans there are of the Toke. Hey, a lot is in the eye of the beholder, or the hand of the gun holder. If folks like that ugly Toke, more power. And since they are cheap and the 7.62X25 is great ammo by my accounts, I’d say add them to any backup/handout/cache list of cheap but effective pistols.
